POWDERSVILLE — State Sen. Kevin Bryant announced his re-election campaign Monday by touting his strong conservative side.

He made the announcement at the Powdersville Volunteer Fire Department before a crowd of about 60. Bryant said it was fitting to begin his campaign in the most conservative area of his district, an area he called “Conservativeville.”

“Whatever you hear me say in Anderson,” he said, “you’ll see me do in Columbia.”

Anderson County Republican Party Chairman Dan Harvell said he would not endorse Bryant, to stay neutral until filing deadlines pass, but added that Bryant was part of the most conservative caucus in the Senate.

Bryant said he gets ridiculed as a “right-wing flamethrower” for his inflexibility but he stands by his objections to abortion, his stringent anti-debt stances and insistence on variety of conservative-first principles.

Bryant, owner of Bryant Pharmacy in Anderson, is in his second four-year term as a state senator.

After redistricting, Bryant’s District 3 now covers the northern half of Anderson County, including Powdersville, much of Anderson and Pendleton.

Bryant said he intends to file for election this week.

Dear Friends,

We’ve seen some progress in Columbia, but we also still see a strong resistance to change. I am blessed to have your continued support and am asking for your help again now that re-election is upon us. We are announcing our re-election on Monday, March 12th at the Powdersville Fire Department. The kickoff will be at 7:00pm followed by a reception.

It is refreshing to see the groundswell of concerned taxpayers engaged in the fight to reclaim our liberty and freedom and reverse the current socialistic course. Our unsustainable debt can’t continue. A limited, transparent, and accountable government is our only option if we want to see any prosperity for future generations.

The good-ole-boy system is a monster, and we’ve been rattling its cage. Those benefiting from the “system” have fought our positive message of reform, but we’ve gained ground on them. We’ve seen victories for transparency and accountability. SC has a lot of good people with solid values, but we also find our state spends too much and borrows from our children’s future. Let’s just say no to the politics of more government and say yes to the liberty of the taxpayer.

This will be the most important election in a generation and the outcome will be the difference between the hope of our founding fathers and the change of Barack Obama’s radical agenda. I will be honored to have your support as we kick off our 2012 campaign. I look forward to seeing you on Monday, March 12th.

You’ve seen recent attention to the SC Retirement System’s $ 17 BILLION in unfunded liabilities. This sytem must be repaired very soon, before is self-destructs. Again, until recently, Ryberg, myself, & a few others have been isolated in speaking out about kicking this can down the road. Well, we’re out of road now.

Wednesday 03.07.2012 – I was honored by the SC Taxpayer’s Association with the 2012 “Friend of the Taxpayer” award. This is the second time in my tenure in the Senate I’ve received high ranks from a group that is a critical voice for the taxpayers of South Carolina.
